Blizzard


A blizzard reached New York yesterday. I was told to stay home and to not go to work, which I was okay with since I have a test tomorrow. The storm will not end until early morning tomorrow so I will work from home.

I may have to go to school tomorrow evening though. I actually hope that the campus is open because I would like to do the test so I do not have to worry about it over the weekend. I do not feel very prepared for it though.

I started to prepare for the test today. Basically, I only have two days to study for it and this time the test will cover five chapters. I do not want to judge the test before taking it like I did last time. I will study as much as I can and I hope to remember as much as possible.

I may go to Atlantic City this weekend. My girlfriend turned 21 yesterday and I want to take her out to a place with an age limit. We will try to find a good weekend package around Chinatown in Manhattan because they usually offer cheap bus rides that include chips that are valid at certain casinos.

I bought her an ice-cream cake yesterday. It was the second time I had that kind of cake actually and it is definitely one of my favorite kinds of cake. I believe it was made by Carvel and I will definitely get another one as soon as there is another occasion to celebrate.

I was supposed to have a presentation tonight in my organizational behavior class. However, Berkeley College closed the campus because of the weather. The school was open earlier today but the blizzard got more serious later in the afternoon, which was the reason for the cancellation.

I feel a little lucky that the blizzard showed up. I had a lot to prepare for this week and studying for three tests is not easy to do. Instead of having a few hours after work, I now have two full days to study. This will certainly help me to achieve better scores on the tests.

I am planning to post a blog to talk a little about Berkeley College and what people should expect. I get many emails from people who are worried about not being good enough or are having troubles finding housing. I would like to talk a little about this because it seems like many, especially Europeans, feel unnecessarily insecure about studying abroad.
